Background to Beale Park Boat & Outdoor Show:
The Beale Park Boat Show (more recently The Beale Park Boat & Outdoor Show) has been a fixed date in the diary for boat & outdoor enthusiasts for over 20 years. It began life in Richmond before the owner took it to Beale Park in 1999. It has been held every year since.
Beale Park is a 350-acre farm with a lake, access to the Thames and a Wildlife & Gardens Park (with free access to visitors of the show). It is located in a beautiful part of Berkshire near to traditional boating communities such as Henley & Pangbourne. Reading is the nearest big town. The lake at Beale Park Boat & Outdoor Show has direct access to the Thames waterway.
See it for Real Productions were invited to take over the management of the show and have been delighted with trader and visitor response. The new owners have been offered a 5-year option to run the show (so there is great security for the show’s future).
